Before the story I…. (what you did to prepare the children for the story):
I read the title of the book and author then I asked them what they think the book or story was going to be about. The one little girl in the group answered that she thinks it was about dogs. Then I turned to a random page with a scared dog on it and ask them why they think the dog is scared and they answer with they don’t know. So I said why don’t we find out.
During the story I…… (how did you engage/keep their interest and involve them in the story):

I learned that no matter how much you prepare, you can still find things that you can improve and work on. For example, during the last couple observers I been doing I have been reading to children and since taking this class I always ask myself what could I have done better or what will I bring next time I read to children. I also learned like how we talked in class that reading books to children helps build community and supports understanding of others. One example is when I see children reading right before lunch time there is always that one group of children that sit around each other and talk and look through the book. We talked about it in class how we could bring out contemporary like death when something has happened to a child my question is can you have those kind
